oh yippee, more ALW....but phantom is slightly ok...and what is in the water that makes most male ice dancers scorchingly hot

Yeah, Poje is definitely attractive. The program is okay. Her expression needs serious work. Combo-lift timed quite well. Lovely (curve?) lift near the end of the program. Makes D/W's program look better, but it's a softer (slower) take on POTO.

The second Chinese team weren't bad, but I think C/Z should've beaten them.

It's interesting to compare C/Z with the other Shpilband teams, in that he (Zuerlein) is less prominent than the other guys, relative to their teammates. And I don't think it's simply because she's a noteworthy beauty, as I think Tessa, Meryl and Maia are all quite striking. I prefer the Shibutanis to them (to talk about the younger American pairs), but C/Z really do have some lovely qualities.

Yeah, C/Z were not judges favorites!
2nd warm up is on. B/A have nice outfits. she is in white dress that flows along her body, he is in dark navy with some white thin scarf.
K/N...I'm speachless. 80's all the way. in its worst.
Zareckis are in black with red little details.
